Purpose Minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty (MITHA) is a treatment for hip arthritis, and
it causes less tissue trauma, blood loss, and recovery time. However, the limited incision …

This paper presents a novel lightweight navigation system for oral and maxillofacial surgery
(OMS). An external curved checkerboard with self-identifying markers is set as the reference …

High-precision pose estimation based on visual markers has been a thriving research topic
in the field of computer vision. However, the suitability of traditional flat markers on curved …

In clinical operations, it is crucial for surgeons to know the location of the surgical instrument.
Traditional positioning systems have difficulty dealing with camera occlusion, marker …

The development of an automated suturing robot for oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS)
has long been a challenging task, mainly due to the spatial constraints in the oral cavity …

We introduce a novel concept termed gradient balance prior to cross-point patterns and
prove three related theorems. Using this prior, we develop vanishing power transform to …

Oral localization is widely used in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). Most existing
navigation systems adopt stereo optical devices to track fiducial markers for oral localization …
